Wait 4 God's Best!
With all the peer pressure to "just do it," what influenced you the most to choose abstinence? Was it the church, salvation, your parents, or friends that influence you to begin a life of celibacy? In my life, the church and my mom were instrumental in my decision to practice abstinence. I remember my mom telling me that she married her 1st husband as a virgin. At the time, my mother wasn't a Christian, but she hada personal moral conviction. My mom's story stayed with me, and I purposed in my heart as a teenager that I too wanted to have the same story to share with my daughter. So when I became saved at 13, and I began to hear in the word of God that fornication is a sin against God, I became more and more convinced to live a life of purity. I made a personal vow to follow God's word to avoid premarital sex. I even shared this message through songs and dances in middle school by singing songs like, "you don't have to take your clothes off to have a good time." I made this decision a long time before I said "I do". I had no idea of the different temptations that would come my way, but God is faithful! So do share what made you decide to practice abstinence. And if you haven't decided, please share what is holding you back from making this commitment.

Welcometo the Wait4God's Best blog. I'm writing this blog with the hopes of encouraging teens, singles, men, and women to live a life of purity. I know that practicing abstinence is not easy. For 34 years, I practiced abstinence, and had times in my life where I thought of just giving in out of frustration and impatience. I give God all the glory for keeping me. I am so happy to say that I've been married for over a year to a wonderful man of God. In keeping with the theme of my book, My Husband bought the whole Cow! Be encouraged and wait for God's Best!
